Re: Who's the oldest member ?

Postby XC204 on Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:25 am

12/24/50 ! = 60+ just got done being treated for Prostate Cancer and had a good 3mo check up ! all's on track ..PSA falling..I love technology..sometimes. As a side note I built part of the Loma Linda medical accelerator years ago. The safety system. My job is to build and maintain safety systems that keep people out of radiation areas. For 9 weeks I left work for a long lunch to set in a proton beam that was each day 120 times more potent that we can get in 1 year. Life is strange some times.

I'm not positive, but I think he came over on the Mayflower.

ok I guess I should jump in. My birthday is 7/21/49, so I will be 62 in a few days and I still play with bikes. Like XC204 I was treated for prostate cancer, had it removed at the end of Dec. , with robotic surgery. It slowed down my bike riding for a while but I'am back in the saddle again. :shock: All you young pups should take a listen to us old dogs. 8) Rember, you don't quit playing because you got old, you got old because you quit playing (riding, building bikes)

Gosh, when I joined I figured I'd be the oldest on here at 50. Feel like a young pup after reading this thread even if my body feels like it belongs to a fat old man.

I didn't reply to the thread at first because I thought I was not in the running, but at 72 ( I was born in 1938) I may throw my hat in the ring. I still enjoy my bikes as much as I used to, but I have noticed my rides are shorter than they used to be. Still having too much fun in retirement.

I've been curious about this for a while. I'm a young at heart 66 and a bit Grumpy at times. Bikes, family and gardens help keep me going. Think I saw a 72 listed so I'm a youngster I guess.
